The Rolling Stones turned up the nostalgia on Saturday as they played to a packed crowd in London’s Hyde Park, 44 years after their last performance at the open-air venue. The rockers were joined on the tree-lined stage by blues star Gary Clark, Jr. and former member Mick Jones, who played his first gig with the band during their last performance at the central London park in 1969, two days after the death of guitarist Brian Jones. Speaking before the landmark show, guitarist Keith Richards told Andy Bush of Britain’s Absolute Radio, “Well, I’m not emotional but I feel very excited about it. And also, we will have Mick Taylor with us and that was his first gig with the Stones, so there is a kind of a full circle being drawn here as well.” Richards also revealed the band didn’t choose the set list for the big gig until just hours before taking to the stage in Hyde Park, adding, “There is still a bit of juggling going on, but I mean those things can be decided on the night.” Celebrity guests including new parents David Walliams and supermodel Lara Stone, actress Gemma Arterton and Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie watched on as Sir Mick Jagger, who is preparing to mark his 70th birthday in three weeks’ time, led the legendary rockers through a string of hits including Start Me Up, Gimme Shelter and Honky Tonk Woman. The rockers closed the show with their anthem (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction and a fireworks display. The concert marked the first of two gigs at Hyde Park, the second will take place on Saturday.
